CVE-2017-12467
Memory leak in CCN-lite before 2.00 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by leveraging failure to allocate memory for the comp or complen structure member.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.53%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
